Course Agreement ??

[gaz3585uk]

1 year ago I was misled into what could realistically be achieved from becoming a driving instructor. I have completed a course agreement which I signed but have only undertaken 10% approx of the course. I have discovered that on the course agreement my D.O.B was incorrect in fact it says I was born in 1991 (10 years later than my actual D.O.B) I made a payemtn of �3,700 to receive this training, am I eligible or do have I any case to request part of my course fees back.

not on the basis of your date of birth being entered incorrectly, no.

why have you only completed 10% of the course? and how were you misled?

i'll bet it was that red driving school thing. personally, i think anyone who watches an ad on the tv, thinks they'll get a new career for �30k after doing a course (like those ics or computing thingies) is a bit simple. most people who go to uni (and do a proper course) end up with a �20kish job, have to work their way up that ladder and it takes time to progress in a career. people are too greedy and expect something for nothing with these courses and frankly deserve evrything they get when it all goes tits up. its like getting those 'you've won a million pounds' prize draw things in the post. out to target the vulnerable who will stump up money and not moan about being ripped off. learn your lesson!!!!! you will not get a penny back as you are in breach of the agreement, not them.

Thanks Stonekicker, I was not being greedy as I already earn what was advertised, I just wanted to work more flexible hours but thanks for the tips.
